Chapter 5 - Enrollment procedures for international students

Chapter 5 - Enrollment procedures for
international students
Students holding a qualification obtained abroad, after passing the admission or evaluation
process (if required), can enroll in any program the Tor Vergata University of Rome offers,
available at: http://web.uniroma2.it/module/name/PdnHome/navpath/OFF.
The first step is to obtain information about procedures and deadlines, which may differ for
every single program, reported in the respective calls published on the website:
http://web.uniroma2.it/module/name/Content/newlang/italiano/navpath/OFF/section_parent
/5365.
Enrollment in Italian universities is regulated by ministerial procedures, which establish
different access procedures for EU and non-EU students resident in Italy holding a
foreign     qualification,    non-EU     students     resident   abroad    (student    visa
applicants),“Marco Polo” Programme Chinese students holding a foreign
qualification, and non-EU students holding an Italian qualification.
Detailed information is published on the ministerial website at:
http://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri.

                                         IMPORTANT

In order to enroll in a course at the Tor Vergata University of Rome, foreign students holding
a qualification achieved abroad shall have to submit a statement of comparability issued
by CIMEA (Centro di Informazione sulla Mobilità e le Equivalenze accademiche) or a
Declaration of value issued by the Italian competent authority.

Comparability refers to identifying the level of the foreign qualification based on the
framework established by the Bologna Process and on the EQF (European Qualifications
Framework). The mentioned comparison does not ratify the formal recognition of the foreign
qualification within the Italian system or by the Tor Vergata University of Rome. However, it
is a useful indicator for the evaluation of the qualification for the purpose of gaining access to
higher education.

The Tor Vergata University of Rome and CIMEA have made an agreement for the issuing of
a statement of comparability for final school and university qualifications obtained abroad.
Students can access the service by visiting the CIMEA website through the following link:
https://cimea.diplo-me.eu/torvergata/#/auth/login.

ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES
The Tor Vergata University of Rome provides Italian language courses for international
students. Students can find out all the opportunities to improve their Italian by checking the
following link: http://clici.uniroma2.it/en/the-clici/.

Chapter 5 - Enrollment procedures for international students

In the following sections, once you have chosen the right category, you will find information
about deadlines, places available, necessary documentation and how to enroll in our courses:
5.1. EU students and non-EU students residing in Italy with a qualification obtained abroad;
5.2. Non-EU students residing abroad (applying for a student visa);
5.3. “Marco Polo” Programme Chinese students;
5.4. Non-EU students residing in Italy and who have an Italian qualification.

5.1 - EU and equivalent students, non-EU residents in Italy and
Italian citizens with a foreign qualification

This category includes EU citizens (also Italians), equivalent and non-EU citizens with a
residence permit, who have a foreign qualification. Citizens of Norway, Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Republic of San Marino are considered as equivalent students;
as well as refugees and holders of subsidiary protection status, including staff in service in
Diplomatic Representations abroad and in international bodies located in Italy – accredited to
the Italian State or the Holy See – and their dependent families (spouse and children).

If you are EU or non-EU citizen holding a residence permit (art. 26, law no. 189/2002) and a
qualification obtained abroad you will be admitted to the university under the same
conditions as an Italian qualification holder, hence with no limitations in terms of places
available and without having to sit the Italian language test.

5.1.1 - Admission test
Where mandatory, you shall sit the admission test for the course you have chosen following
the procedures explained in the various calls/announcements published on the university web
page “Offerta Formativa”:
http://web.uniroma2.it/module/name/Content/newlang/italiano/navpath/OFF/section_parent
/5365.
Once passed the test, if you satisfy the admission requirements listed in 5.1.2, you can enroll
in accordance with the instructions provided in 5.1.3.

5.1.2 - Admission requirements
In order to be admitted into bachelor’s degree programs and one-cycle degree
programmes, it is compulsory to hold a diploma obtained abroad after a minimum of 12
years of education and which allows you to enroll in a university in your Country. In cases
where the local educational system provides shorter education programmes, you must prove
you have attended university, and passed the exams required, so as to meet the 12-year-
education requirement, or you must hold a post-secondary study qualification obtained in
non-university higher education institutes. It is additionally required that you pass an
academic qualifying examination, when required in your Country (i.e. GAO KAO in China;
Vestibular in Brazil; Selectividad in Spain; etc.).
A pre-school year can also be considered a 12-year equivalent if the attendance was
compulsory and part of the curriculum, and also in cases where the pre-school program was

                                             21
Chapter 5 - Enrollment procedures for international students

provided with the teaching of reading and writing in the language of the given Country
together with some basic mathematics.
For further information on valid qualifications obtained abroad, please check the ministerial
procedures published at the following link: http://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/
In particular, we invite you to consult Attachment no. 1 which refers to the US qualification
(American High Schools Diploma), the UK qualification, Greek qualification or those issued by
university institutes of ecclesiastical studies based in Italy approved by the Holy See, and
Attachment no. 2 which refers to Italian qualifications obtained in “scuole di frontiera” or in
Italian sections of foreign schools, in international Baccalaureate, in schools of the Republic
of San Marino, or obtained in foreign schools based in Italy or other European schools.

To be admitted into       master’s degree programs (two-year programs), you need a
qualification obtained   in a foreign university or a post-secondary qualification achieved in a
non-university higher     education Institute which allows you to continue your studies in the
academic institutes in   your Country.

The procedures regarding registration for the bachelor’s/master’s degree programs and one-
cycle degree programs for non-EU citizens residing abroad follow the ministerial dispositions
which annually certify the terms and modes for the submission of the pre-enrollment
application to the Italian diplomatic-consular Representation, validation of qualifications and
student visa. More detailed information is available on the MIUR website:
http://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/.

In order to enroll in this university, you need to follow the following steps.

      year, for each program, the number of places is established by the competent
      academic bodies for non-EU students resident abroad.
   b. Submit your pre-enrollment via the Universitaly website. In the application you must
      indicate the Tor Vergata University of Rome and choose the degree program you want

      course of study of your interest.
   c. Complete the procedures provided by the Tor Vergata University of Rome for the
